| PINEWOOD DERBY 2009 |
Conner was awarded 1st place among the Webelos for his blazing Bully speed. The little
blue car got second place. It's owner is pictured in the middle. Conner is the grinning cub
scout on the right being awarded the 1st place hardware
Okay, now that Bully whipped the rest of the Webelos, its time to compete against the
fastest cars among the Bears, Tigers, and Wolves. There was one car racing with the
Bears that topped 217 M.P.H. in one heat! That's like warp speed for derby cars.

This is the 1st heat in the overall competition.
Obviously the competition has gotten
tougher. Bully, in Lane 3, was narrowly
victorious!

In the 2nd heat, Bully was in Lane 4. He won
by a bumper! He was routinely hitting over
215 M.P.H.!!! Sweet!

Uh oh. Bully's first taste of defeat. That little dude in
Lane 1 nailed a track record of 217 M.P.H. in this 3rd
heat. Now Conner has to hope that Bully's average
speed is the highest when the final heat is run.

Well, I blew this action shot. Bully won by a wide
margin, but he's covered up by the Finish Line sign.
You can barely see the car's shadow as it's
streaking to victory!
